Class on racism at CENTRALongmont

CENTRALongmont Presbyterian Church plans a class on racism. It is not a class that will push guilt, but rather encourage an understanding of what racism really is, how it exists today and our role in it.

The class will study three books: "Waking up White," by Debby Irving, "Just Mercy," by Bryan Stevenson, and "The New Jim Crow," by Michelle Alexander. Reading the books is not required for the class, but is strongly recommended.

Join a discussion, performance and glimpse into the "Way of the Leopard" with John Lockley. There will be opportunity to ask Lockley questions and receive a signed copy of his new book, "The Leopard Warrior." He invites guests to experience the healing energies, songs and rhythms from South Africa. He is emerging as a star in the global shamanism scene. The event is planned for 6 p.m. on Friday, 1005 Apple Valley Road, Lyons.

Jewish Shabbat services on third Friday

Jewish Shabbat Services are held on the third Friday of every month by the Longmont Shabbat Group, a community-based Jewish group. The services include lighting Shabbat candles and informal readings.

The Boulder alt-country band gives its EPs names such as Death and Resurrection, and its songs bear the mark of hard truths and sin. But the punk energy behind the playing, and the sense that it's all in good fun, make it OK to dance to a song like "Death." Full Story
